    Matt made the point on the last episode that there is no ability for the left to apply pressure because there aren't really any organizations or movements capable of it and it's just indidvidual people.

      If only there was someone with a broad listener-ship who could funnel people towards an organisation? Oh well off to grill.

          My real lib take is that they are now the guy from the end of the 15 million merits episode of black mirror living a easy life of luxury while doing a broadcast decrying the system they are perfectly comfortable in. If there was revolutionary change it would hurt them more than help them.

          DSA, PSL, IWW, the Peoples Party, the Green Party, John Brown Gun Club, SRA, BLM, Food Not Bombs. Rather than bemoaning that there is no leftist organisation why not critique any of them and guide people to them? Instead they try to get Bernie elected that failed so they aren't willing to throw some weight behind anything else.

          Hell Felix made a joke about Mike Gravel and a couple of teens took ran with it.
